Mr.. Randall did not neglect the oppor-
tunity afforded him by the Atlanta EXPOSE
ton to say good word for protection and
punch the free traders. "lt has," he said,
"been declared with dogmatic energy and
persistence that under certain conditions of
duties on imports the prices of food and
clothing would be higher, while the wages of
labor would be lower. Now, 1t has been
demonstrated by the investigation to which
have alluded, that in the years since 1860
the reverse has been actually proven to be
the fact, by whatever standard tested. and
the prices Of food and clothing have been
reduced, the wages Of labor increased. and
the Profits Of capital lessened; while despite
those whose theories, predictions and selfish
interests have contemplated the failure and
discontinue Of the people in developing their
individual resources, the people nevertheless
have risen superior to all adverse influences
and achieved a complete, and, believe, a
lasting victory"

the Irish papers have teemed with reports of
League meetings. and the membership of
that organization has shown an increase.
What in this country we call "boom" has
been given to the League, and it is now
stronger than ever. The Tories attribute
the failure of the trials to stupid laundering
on the part of the crown lawyers, and are
roundly abusing them as well as Balfour and
the members of the ministry. There are
signs also that the last is lettering to its
fall, owing partly to internal discussions and
partly to its failure to meet the expectation
of its supporters. Altogether the situation
is full of encouragement to the followers of
Mr.. Gladstone and Mr.. Parnell. The blum
ders of the government are certainly bring
ing aecessiOns to their support, and recon

Chinese newspaper announces that the
money which the Mitkiemitz Barker combi-
nation will use in developing the industries
of China will come from the hoard of silver
dollars now in the United States treasury.
ITO put it on the American market remarks
the Celestial journal "would precipitate a
revolution, hence the United States has de-
cided to send it to China" If the Chinese
empire would guarantee but very moderate
return for our "cart wheels" no doubt the
American people would be glad to make the
arrangement suggested, for they are of very
little use in this country and it costs good
deal to store them. But Mitkiemitz's per-
sonal guarantee. won't do. He has been too
much in the habit Of confounding what be-
longed to him with what belonged to others
to the detriment of the latter.

The National Leaguers are iubilant and
the English Tories are way down in the
dumps. The incident that has produced
these conditions, is the failure to convict the
proprietor Of United Ireland Of publishing
prohibited matter. The matter in question
was report of the proceedings Of one OF the
suppressed branches of the National League,
and the technicality on which the publisher
escaped is likely to interfere with convic-
lions in other similar cases and render the
governments attempt to suppress all intelli-
gence concerning the league abortive. Since

THE WESTERN UNIONS OPPORTUNITY.
[Boston Transcript
1t is to be hoped, but scarcely to be expect
ed, that, with its most powerful competitor
out of the way, the Western Union will i'm
prove its service. There is room for i'm
provement, and there is a demand on the
part of the business public that the Western
Union shall cease from its policy of hiring
cheap men and patching up old lines. The
sentiment in favor of the government tele-
graphs is growing, but so is the opinion that
the government ought not to buy broken
down lines at their owners valuation.

1t seems that the Federal Oil, eholders in
New Hampshire occupy their leisure mo-
ments in lobbying for the schemes of the Hon.
Frank Jones. At least that is the case with
the United States Marshal who confesses
that he has been in Concord in Jones' en-
ploy working for the Hazen bill. The kind
OF work he has been doing is not clearly es-
tablished. He himself says that it has been
perfectly legitimate as regards means, but
member of the legislature asserts that he
has been trying to buy votes with money.
Which one tells the truth will very likely
never be definitely settled. But even if he
has done nothing more than he himself ties
titles to his performance Is unseemly A
public officer, especially an officer connected
with court Of justice, ought not to be per-
forming as a lobbyist. But the Federal Of
iceholders in New Hampshire are practically
Frank Jones's slaves and when he cracks the
whip they must obey. TIE Marshars APP
pearance at Concord, therefore, was not
probably an altogether voluntary act, and
some allowance should be made for him on
that account.

The way to abolish poverty says Kearney,
is to abolish Chinese immigration. The way
to abolish poverty, say Henry George and
DR.. McGlynu, is to abolish ownership of
land. Kearney is an ignorant denagogue
while Henry George and Dr. McGlynn are
educated and cultivated gentlemen. Yet we
imagine that the formers panacea for power
ty would be about as effective as the latters'
Work, economy and foresight judiciously
mixed constitute the only sure cure fol

Mr.. Cleyeland's trip, so far as the State Of
Wisconsin is concerned. does not appear
likely to turn out to be good Presidential
investment. The Democrats who do not
wear boiled shirts, by far the most numer-
Gus class. are badly put out by the Presi-
dents exclusiYeness. Perhaps it is too late
to conciliate the Badger Democrats, but he
should see to it that the Minnesota un-
washed have no cause for complaint. In
stead of twelve dollar plate banquet a
free lunch should be advertised

1t seems that after the discovery and ex-
posure of the fact that the Presidents earlier
speeches were cribbed from the American
Cyclopedia and printed in advance at the
government printing Office the President
concluded to abandon those he had proposed
to deliver later on. Unfortunately however,
advance slips had been sent to some Of the
newspapers, and these were not called in in
season. The result was that most of the
newspapers Of the country published as the
Presidents speech at Chicago. speech but
part Of which he delivered. Only the
papers that had stenographers on the spot
got the speech that was actually spoken.
The omitted paragraph was statistical and
closely followed the American Cyclopedia.

The story that the ouarantining of the
cholera patients at Swinbnrne island has
been loose, and that attendants on the sick
have been permitted to visit the mainland,
must be taken with many grains Of allow
ance. 1t is easy to discover political mo-
tive for this report, inasmuch as Mr.. Plat,
the quarantine commissioner. is a promi-
nent Republican. aud political campaign is
coming on. 1t is mean business to start q
false report of this kind, but meanness is a
frequent concomitant Of politics in New

About quarter of the delegates to the
Knights of Labor convention voted in favor
of the Communication of the sentences of the
Chicago Anarchists. Perhaps some of them
were impelled to do so by conscientious OBJ
jections to capital punishment, and meant to
express no sympathy with the condemned
men. 1t is evident enough however that the
author of the resolution was moved by some
thing besides conscientious scruples against
the death penalty, that he meant to commit
the Knights to an endorsement of the move
ment now making among the Socialists on
both sides of the water for the Anarchists
relief. Had the Knights endorsed this reso-
luton fatal blow would have been struck
at their order. Whatever their numbers
they are not numerous enough to defy pub
lie opinion, and public opinion believes the
Anarchists were justly condemned and win
be justly punished when they pay the penal
ty on the gallows.
